Plastic bans

Hey there little one! Have you ever seen a plastic bag in a tree or in the street? It's not very nice, is it? Plastic is made from oil, and it takes a really long time to break down in the environment. When plastic is thrown away, it can end up in places where it shouldn't be, like in oceans or on beaches. This can hurt animals and plants that live there.

So, some places, like cities or even whole countries, have started making rules to help cut down on the amount of plastic that we use. This is called a plastic ban. It means that people aren't allowed to use certain plastic items anymore, like straws, bags or utensils.

Instead, we can find better ways to do things without using plastic. For example, we can use paper bags or reusable bags instead of plastic bags. We can also use metal, wood, or bamboo straws or utensils that can be washed and used again.

It might take a little getting used to, but it's important to take care of our planet and keep it clean and healthy for all of us!
